    Since House didn't want to read all the resumes for the new team, he just called all of them into an auditorium. Each was given a number and he began the process of weeding out some of them. Since we don't know what he is looking for (nor do they), things seem arbitrary. The case is a young woman in the Astronaut program at NASA. While using a flight simulator she begins to suffer from synesthesia and crashes her routine. She soon becomes the test for the 40 doctors vying for three spots. One kicker is that she doesn't want NASA to know that she is being treatedd.

    As a bit of a distraction, Cameron and Chase are working in the hospital in different departments. House begins to think he is hallucinating. Good episode.

    Apt episode name

    One of the best House MD episodes.

    Good character selection bar the cut throat B, she sucked.

    House stuck in a rock and a hard decision

    I love this one it introduces new characters, amazing effects, and a patient that wants to work for NASA that experiences hallucinations among other symptoms that numerous people have to solve. Great one with different tests and excitement to continue on from the wonderful new changes! Victorious a little with the same snarky delight!

    Uggh

    They've been attempting to shove down anne dudek for well over a decade in so many shows. So snnnoying. Yes...a switch from the old team to the new team. Didn't particularly care for the old team...will i like the new guys?

    This was back before harold or kumar annoyingly popped up in everything. Like traveling back in time.

    Hey...we need a hot woman to replace the old hot woman. Let's go with olivia wilde.

    Typical great house vs god commentary. That's the only thing that brought a 6 star episode up to a 7 star.

    Just new people and new personalities to either distract from house...or use for house to butt up against.

    The game is starting...

    House has to engage 3 doctors. A normal guy would conduct interviews and then pick 3 people. Well, we are talking of House. So take 30 or 40 doctors, put them in an big room, give them cases and fired them as you decide, for reasons sometimes as good as : who does not like vanilla ice-creams? You, you are a moron, you are fired! This part of the 4th season of House is probably the best of all the show! Prepare yourself, take food, drinks... because once the game starts, you will not switch off your tv until the end of it! As House said in episode 1 : WORLD CUP!

    • Trivia
      On the blackboard behind House is the phrase "Tesla Was Robbed." Nikola Tesla was once offered $50,000 to create improvements for the Edison Company, and after the work was finished, he was not paid. Here there are two tie-ins, one is that the patient offered House $50,000 for her treatment, and the second is a joke that most of the applicants for House's team are there working for nothing since chances are they'll be fired.
    • Goofs
      Dr House has all the applicants in the classroom wearing numbered ID tags. When he calls out numbers to allow them to ask questions the numbers he calls do not match the numbers worn by those who respond.
    • Quotes

      Dr. Gregory House: How old are you?

      Henry Dobson: I'm 21, unless it's relevant.
